Hello,

What are the semicolons in the this Meijer's G Function (picture is attached)? The notation I saw in different books and in the Internet doesn't include semicolons. Do they signify something that is not in the other notations?

Thanks

1Greek tensor indices indicate the full range of spacetime values, whereas Latin will only refer to the spatial values. Comma and semicolon are standard notation for partial and covariant derivatives, respectively. For scalars, partial and covariant derivitives are identical.

Actually, I know nothing about this, I just did a Google search for: semicolon in Meijer's G Function

Cheers,
Tom

Thanks, but this is very generic. I am looking for something specific for the Meijer's G function because of different notation uses that is causing me confusion.
 

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...

Thread 'Fermat's Last Theorem'

Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...

Thread 'Useless continued fraction for 1'

I'm interested to know whether the equation $$1 = 2 - \frac{1}{2 - \frac{1}{2 - \cdots}}$$ is true or not. It can be shown easily that if the continued fraction converges, it cannot converge to anything else than 1. It seems that if the continued fraction converges, the convergence is very slow. The apparent slowness of the convergence makes it difficult to estimate the presence of true convergence numerically. At the moment I don't know whether this converges or not.
